T o all whom 'it may concern:

Be it known that I, FRED GEI'IXER, a citizen of the United States, residingat Garrig son, in the county 'of McLean and State of 'l North Dakota, have invented a new and use'- ful Wheel-Mounted Push-Scraper, o.c which i the following is a specification.

This invention has relation to` wheel mounted push Scrapers and it consists in the novel construction and arrangement of parts as hereinafter shown and described.

The object of the invention is to rovide a scraper of the character indicated at apted to be operated by horses or draft animals which follow behind the clipper of the implement 4 when the same is being loaded and being conveyed to the dump. The parts of the implement are so arranged that when the flipper 3 arrives at. the dump and is emptied the dritt animals may be wheeled around and the. sera r drawn back to the pointof loading.

Tllif invent-ion further consists of a smlple and substantial arrangement of parts in :a v novel combination as will hereinafter appear.

Figure 1 is a perspective view of the` scraper showing the dipper thereof in a iowered position. Fig. 2 1s a perspective view of the scraper showing the dipper in an elevated position. Fig. 3 is a position and, Fig. 4 is a perspective view olf :3

portion of the tongue of the scraper.

The scraper consists of the tongue 1 which 1s provi( ed at one end 1th a bar :Z having a vertleallv disposed beat-mg 3.

the ground wheel 6 is journaled between the tines of the fork 5. The seat ost and seat are fixed to the upper end of t ie spindle i. ss is also the clevis 8. The i'ork 5 is provided i with the foot rest 9. The clevis S is adapted to support a double tree to which the rsi-t i animals are attached in the usual manner.

The forward end of the tongue 1 is attached i to the yoke 11 which is provided at its forward ends wlth spindles 12 upon which the ground wheels 13 are journaled. "lille ssid yoke 11 is provided with a dependingr frs-.nte

14 which is held in rigid position with rele. tion to the tongue l by the braces 15- dxpper 16 1s blocks 19 which in turn are iournaled upon erspective vieu-v of the scraper showmg the t ipper 1n a tilted A. spindle of the fork 5 1s journaled 1n the bearing 23 and The referably of rectangular corii figuration an is provided at its sides with the vertically disposed guides 1T which are. Q

ends to the cross-bar 1S.

The tongue 1 is rovided in its upper side with s longitudinally disposed channel 23 in which is located a longitudinally slidable bar 24- The forward end of the bar 24 is conworlzing end of the lever 21. is ad'ust-ably aiatache-.d to the upper end of the lin 's 22 which 1n turn are pivotally connected at their lower nected with t-he power end of the lever 21 by l the rod 25 which has pivot-al connections ith :the said bar and said lever. The rear end ci the bar 24 is rovided with an upstancjlig lug 26 to whic 1 is pivota-lly attached the 'fcmvard end of the. ratchet bar 27. The l rear portion of the bar 27 passes through a guide *2S mounted u on the tonvue 1 and the Patel-.eis of the sai bar are adapted to engege s. lcrossin or stop 29 located in the said i guide 12S. T e s ring actuated -trip lever 30 is fulcrumed to the s1de of the tongue 1 and has its forward end portion lying under the har l vvhile its rear end is within convenient reach of the footl of an operator who may be seated upon the seat 7. The bar 31 is also ivoally connected at its forward end to the ug if, said bar is provided upon its up er edge with a. series of depressionsl 32. "he bar is also provided with an elongated slot which receives the pin 34 mounted upon eine lever 35. The lever 35 is fulcrumed to tl:` rear end of the tongue 1 and is rovidef avith a spring actuated pawl 36 wh) 1 is adapted to enter the de ressions 32 of the harl. The rear end of t 1e tongue 1 is rovided with a scrapler 37 which is adapte to operate against t e wheel 6 and keep the ree of mud. at intermediate points to the sides of the tongue 1 in the vicinity of the forward end there i'- The friction wheel 39 is journaled Vbemvfen the upper ends of the links 3S and is adapted to bear upon the rod 25. The rod O is pivotally connected at its forward end y, to tine lower ends of the links 38. Said rod -tO hes under the tongue 1 and extends back tothe rear end thereof where it has pivotal -ction ith the rocker 4l which in turn is .d io the side ofthe tongue 1. Said sis provided with a rest 42 which is i inria convenient reach of the foot of an o erster who may occupy the seat 7, thus 1t will lne seen that a scraper is provided which ich The links 38 are pivoted y the dip er in its loweriiiost position be-l l\ hen the dipper is' may be ushed toward the material as the dipper is eilig loaded when this is being done tween t ie wlieels 13. filled t-he operator` swings the upper 'end of the spring pawl 35 to the rear and as the pawl 36 is in engagement with one of the depressions 32 of the` bar 31 the said bar is n i moved bodily toward the rear which in turnv moves the bar 24 longitudinally in the channel 23.' The'rearward movement of the bar` 24 moves the rod 25 toward the rear end of the tongue 1 which movement swings the lever 21 upon its fulcruni and elevates the mentality of the links 22 and the cross-bar 18 attached to the guides 17 the dipper 16 is elevated above the ground, the guides 17 moving along the blocks 10. The di per 16 is prevented from tilting b v the whee 39 which rests upon the rod 25 when the links 3S are swung 11i an upward position, this is done by the operator who places his foot\ u )on the rest 42 of the rocker -11 and swings tlie saine so that the rod 40 is moved longitudinally which in turn swings the links 3S and holds the wheel 39 againstI the rod 35. As soon as the operator removes his foot from the rest 42 the reverse movement of the parts will take place. as the portions of the links 3S above-their ivot are heavier than the portions of the inks below the pivot. To tilt or dump the dipper 16 the o ieiator removes his foot from the rest 42 an lplaces his foot upon the rear end of the trip ever 30 which swings the said lever and lifts the ratchet bar 27 out of contact with the pin 29. The upper end of the lever 35 is then swungr forward and the bar 24 is moved longitudinaily in the channel 23 toward the dipper 16. This movement brings the -rod 25 into a substantially upright position.which de resses the working end of the lever 21 and t trough the links 22 and cross-bar 1S the dipper 16 is tilted as the blocks 19 may tum with relation to the yoke 11. i

After he dipper 16 is tilted as above described and is emptied of its contents the draft animals are wheeled around and the implement is drawn away from the dump. It is therefore obvious that the dipper may -be pushed over an embankment or .a marshy piece of ground and ein tied of its contents without requiring the t raft animals to gol upon hazardous or objectionable spots, as the filling in may be done in advance of the animals which are then wheeled around and the implement is drawn back to the point. of loading. By reason of the fact that `the bar 2-1,is housed within the channel 23 of the tongue 1 and the rod 40 is under the tongue there are no parts about the tongue which will interfere with one of the draft animals as it steps over the tongue to make the wheel above described. Furthermore, the said 1,parts are. protected from bending and becoming otherwise mutilated by the hoofs of the animals.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters-Patent is:
